Student Testimonials

MPA

"The instructors are inspiring and make sure we know we are capable of anything we put our minds to."

"I enjoyed the welding portion of the program, especially tig welding. It was a fun process to go through and understand, especially because of it’s difficulty and how satisfying of is to get a good weld. Plus it was taught well and with people’s safety in mind, along with great tips from our teacher."

"My favorite part of the program was building the skateboards and the creative projects."
